The Treasure Island Retrospective

This short video demonstrates how to run a retrospective we devised and ran recently for one of our Scrum teams. It uses the 5 stages of a retrospective described by Esther Derby and Diana Larsen in their book Agile Retrospectives; “Setting the Stage”, “Gathering Data”, “Generating Insight”, “Deciding What to Do” and “Close Out”.

It asks the team to go in search of their treasure on Treasure Island, using their strengths to overcome any obstacles they might find on the way. We hope you enjoy and thanks for reading/watching. If you use this we’d love to hear your experiences or any other opinions and thoughts you’d like to share with us about this retrospective.
